Americans straight from the Nazi regime over here are about to find out what Europeans think of them. Wanna bet meloni tries to tamp it down to please her fellow traveller? Hope she fails miserably.

9. A loud chorus of "Bella Ciao" I should imagine.

I hope the Italians in the audience let them have it. My mate is Italian and I know her parents well (they're in their 70s). Their hatred for Trump and Vance is visceral.
